Nostalgia

In a fit of childhood nostalgia, I decided to pull all those Laura Ingalls Wilder books off the shelf and re-read them, for the first time in over 20 years. Right now I'm reading "The Long Winter" and all I can think of is: insulation, Pa, where is your Corning Fiberglass pink insulation? But then, hey, I know it's the 1880's and all, but there was nothing? What a difference I've found, from reading these books as a 7 to 8 year old and then pulling them down as a 35 year old.

And is it just me or does Pa have ants in his pants? Keep moving West!

But still, I can't wait to introduce Daughter to these books....and Nancy Drew!!!
